Packed Monday

Monday was one BUSY day! It seems that there have been a lot of those recently : )

I woke up and got right to work with some cleaning and house chores. Then it was off to the gym for a brutal (but much appreciated) pre-vacation workout.

#NeverMissAMonday

I went straight from there to Whole Foods for a few vacation snacks. Then to the bike shop to finally pick up my bike. I can’t wait to take it out for a ride SOON! Just sad that I’m traveling the next few weekends so it might not be that soon. I had a few more errands to run, including the grocery store before coming home to clean (some more). I fueled with a PB Chocolate Banana Shake. Yum!

When I got home, I put dinner in the crockpot. I feel like I’ve made this recipe before, but couldn’t find it on the blog so decided to share it with you (again?).

It’s an easy and tasty curry recipe that you can make in your crockpot.

I used some of my favorite spices!

My next task was to load up our new dishes (that we just got at our shower) to wash and move into the cabinet.

We’ve had so many amazing meals and memories with our old hand me down dishes, and I am excited to pass them along to someone new. I was even more ecstatic to enjoy my first meal on our gorgeous new dishes! And my first ever non-hand-me-down, I picked them myself (with the BOY’s approval, of course), fancy new dishes!

They are a grey ombre that look even cooler in person. You’ll have to come over for dinner and check them out. I ate leftovers for lunch all week and each day my coworkers commented on how good lunch smelled. It looked like a mish mash but tasted delish!

The other big agenda item of Monday was packing. The BOY and I are going on a weekend cruise with his family, and I wasn’t sure when I was going to have time to throw everything together, especially since I am carrying on…always so tough for me!

I’m sure we know where Cooper will be hanging out all weekend while we’re gone : )

Grease your slow cooker with Pam. Place the chicken, red pepper, and carrots on the bottom of slow cooker.

Place the rest of the ingredients (except water and corn starch) in a food processor and process together until mixture is mostly smooth. Pour the sauce over the chicken, peppers, and carrots, mix well, then cover and cook on low for about 6 hours. ***My recipe only needed to cook 4 hours!

An hour or so before serving, mix cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until cornstarch is dissolved. Pour mixture into the slow cooker, stir to combine, and continue cooking for another hour. **This will thicken up the sauce. When the sauce is to your desired thickness, turn slow cooker to warm setting until ready to serve.

Serve over rice, with Naan, and garnish with cilantro.

The recipe sounds wonderful. I don’t remember it but I am going to try it 😉. The crockpot is the only thing that saves me! Have a wonderful weekend but poor Cooper. I hope DM is going over to hang with him!
